A CAPTAINS Fortunate Discovery.

Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, ply
ing between tlantic City and n. Y, had
been troubled with cough so that he was
unable to sleep, and was induced to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton. 1t not only gave him instant relief,
but allayed the extreme soreness in his
breast. His children were similarly af-
fected and a single dose had the same
happy effect. DR.. Kings New Discovery
is now the standard remedy in the ole
man household and on board the schooner.

THE MERCHANTS HOTEL.
Tonight, and Work on the New One
to Begin At Once.


The work of moving the Merchants
Hotel into Bullion street, in order to
admit Of building new brick hotel
on the site of the present one, is max
ing fair progress. After 10 or II
days of preparatory work, the house
was finally got on rollers last Satur-
day evening, and it began to move.
Soon, however, the north side sank
from level and operations came to a
stop. During Saturday evening and
yesterday, it had only been dragged
about 10 feet. The ca5le-a 3inch
having proved too weak for the job
hydraulic jacks resting against the
old saloon building adjoining the no.
tel had to be used, and the removal
thus completed. By to, morrow morn
ing the site will be clear, and the ex-
cavation Of the cellar can be com
pleted, while preparations are making
to begin building as soon as the ma
terials can be procured.
1t was the intention of Messrs.
Bews & Hodgman to have the new
hotel ready to open by the first Of
September; but it is already evident
that it cannot be completed before
the first of October-and then only
by great effort.
However, it will be completed a:
soon as men and money can to do the
work, and that is all anybody can do

LOOKING INTO THE MATTER.
A Heavy Mine-Owner who Is Deter.
mined Not to Pay Excessive Freight
Charges Any Longer.

Charles Pepper, who owns the con
trolling interest in the King of the
Hills, at Bullion, the Queen of the
Hills, at Broadford, and other claims
hereabout, does not believe in paying
the railway the exorbitant charges
for freight on ore to Salt Lake, Den
yer, Omaha, or elsewhere. He is
therefore looking into the subject of
smelling, with the intention of seeing
if he cannot better himself. II he
concludes he can better himself Mr..
Pepper will doubtless go to work and
organize smelling company to OPP
crate at HALEY or Bellevue, with the
view of smelling his own ores and as
much more of other mines as he can
purchase.
If he takes hold of such a scheme
Mr.. Pepper will undoubtedly make a
success of it, as he never made a fail
ure in his life, and he will therefore
prove real benefactor to this region.
With smelling works here many
mines now idle because of the excess
sive freight and smelling charges
would be exploited.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

The republicans of Ohio held their
convention Thursday, enthusiastically
endorsed Gov. Foraker and renOmi-
mated him as their candidate for gov
ernOr by reclamation. The friends OF
Blaine made no opposition to the en-
dOrsement of Sherman as it was
thought they might, and a Sherman
resolution was adopted. There were
Is planks in the platform, which favor
ed protective tariff; condemned un
restricted emigration =; deprecated ma
tiOnal strife and divisions demanded
such duties on wool and manufactures
thereof as will secure American mar
ket to American producers favored
liberal pensions to the soldiers held
that public lands be held for use OF
actual settlers alone condemned
Cleveland's administration of the civil
service law; extended sympathy to
Gladstone and Parnell and their asso
ciates condemned the Presidents We
toes of the pension bills; favored leg
islatiOn to secure to patentees their
rights endorsed FOraker's admins
tration; attacked the democratic par
ty for its crimes in Ohio "poin ted
with pride" to the Dow liquor law ;
reached out helping hand to the far
mers, and, in conclusion, passed a
Sherman resolution in substance as
follows: While loyal and unfaltering
in devotion to the success of the or
ganizatiOn in 1883, under whatever
standard bearer the republican nation
al convention may select, it is believed
that the nomination of John Sherman
for the Office of president would be
wise and judicious, and his name is
prese nted as a candidate.

from the article, as it was evidently in
tended that he should, that the rail-
road commissioners had no more to do
with such cases than they had to do
with the movement of the heavenly
bodies, etc., etc. As a matter of fact
the hearing at Burlington was held
before the commissioners, President
Pingree of the board presiding, and
had it not been as already stated, that
the railroads interested settled the
matter, the commissioners would have
taken action in the case as it is one
of their duties to apply any remedy
warranted by law when any railroad
company "uujustly discriminates in its
charges for transporting passengers or
freight" and also, whenever in the
Judgment of the commissioners, after
investigation and hearing, it shall ap
pear that any change in the rates of
fare for transporting freight or passen-
gers is reasonable or expedient, they
have the power to make recommends
tions and see that they are carried out.
Our contemporary is to be cOngratu-
lated on the charming spirit shown in
discussing question of such world
wide and overwhelming Importance.

LANGUAGE That is Plain.

If some think Gen. Beatty's charac-
terizatiOn of Mr.. Blaine in the Ohio re-
publican state convention last week is
too severe, they are reminded that
many in the convention were not in a
mood just at that time to listen to
Blaine shOuters. Ohio had "favorite
son" in the person of Senator Sherman
and when they undertook to force the
Maine statesman upon the convention
it was rather "crOwding the mourn
ers," and some of the old soldier blood
got rather warm. 1t may have been
indiscreet i'll Gen. Beatty to strike out
so vigorously it certainly was indis-
Greet in the Blaine men to lug him in
at that time, and it seems they thought
the better of it and endorsed Senator
Sherman very handsomely before they
got through.

Give the Devil His Due.

Those who criticise President Cleve-
land because they think he is poor
pussying the late "rebels" should know
that lie has appointed more soldier
veterans to Office and signed more pen
sion bills than any other president ever
did. This is the statement of Edmund
Hudson, a very intelligent Washington
newspaper man and what is better in
this case than mere statement, he gives
the record. Those who read simply
partisan papers have probably got a
very different idea of the present adj
ministratiOn. 1t is well always to get
the facts before rendering Judgment.

STREAMING AT GNAT.


The Caledonian in it's desire to do
no injustice to the Railroad Commits
siOners concerning the matter of freight
shipments between Burlington aud Ma
guam and this place, stated last week
that the questions under discussion were
"entirely outside the province of the
commissioners" On examination of
the law they prove to be entirely with
in their province and would probably
have been decided by them had not
the railroads settled the matter between
themselves before the hearing of April
10 was concluded.
A contemporary Overdid the matter
in still greater degree in its desire to
"make point" with the railroad COM
missioners and against the Caledonian,
in an article that had for its chief
characteristic an utter want of cOur
tesy. A careless reader would infer
